Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery of an UNIX Client

Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery of an UNIX

Client

To perform a Disk Delivery Disaster Recovery of a UNIX client, connect a bootable disk that contains a minimal OS installation and Data Protector Disk Agent to the crashed system. The administrator has to ensure (before the disaster) that enough data has been collected to correctly format and partition the disk.

For details on supported operating systems, refer to the HP OpenView

Storage Data Protector Software Release Notes.

Limitations

• This description does not cover the recovery of a cluster environment. Depending on the configuration of the cluster environment, additional steps and modification to the environment are necessary.

• RAID is not supported.

• Auxiliary disk should be prepared on a system of the same hardware class as the target system.

	Preparation
	Preparation for this disaster recovery method should be performed on
	several levels: gathering the information for your backup specification,
	preparing the disk, preparing your backup specification (pre-exec), and
	executing the backup. All of these preparatory steps are necessary before
	executing disaster recovery of the client.
Gathering	This section provides a list of items that need to be executed for each
Information	target system at backup time, in order to perform successful disaster
	recovery. If the information is collected as part of a pre-exec command, it
	is important to document the location of these files in the Disaster
	Recovery plan so that the information can be found once disaster strikes.
	Also version administration (there is a collection of the “auxiliary
	information” per backup) has to be considered.
